Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

The applicant Solroc was sued by Raymond Chabot inc. in its capacity as monitor in an insolvency file. Solroc sought to force the respondents Dessau inc., Les Immeubles Yamiro inc. and Construction Morival Ltée to intervene in the action.

The Superior Court dismissed Solroc’s declaration of forced intervention, finding that impleading was not necessary to fully resolve the dispute as it stood between the monitor and Solroc. It also dismissed the call in warranty on the ground that there was no connection between the principal application and the recourse in warranty that Solroc wanted to exercise. The Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal from the Superior Court’s decision.
